Where to start? I mean, the first thing with pea soup is the texture, okay?I've had watery pea soup, it's AWFUL.Uh, I've had gelatinous, thick pea soup, it's TERRIBLE.Pea soup, much like clam chowder, needs to have that consistency first, that you can stand the spoon up in it, but the spoon soon tilts, that's the consistency you want.Number two: Uh, pea soup on it's own can be a little bland. It wants, uh, a fairly aggressive peppering and salting.Number three: Pea soup needs a fine dice of ham. Not bacon, not any other meat, not turkey. It needs a fine dice of ham.Uh, number four: Uh, pea soup scorches easily. You don't wanna heat it on a high heat. You wanna heat it on medium low, just until it's warmed through.Uh, number five: Pea soup is best made, uh, by hand, not out of a Campbell's can. And the key to pea soup, you want a ham bone, uh, for the stock you make, uh, to, to boil your peas.

What if I told you there was once a game played by major leaguers which consisted of not two, but THREE major league teams! And no, I’m not making this up!

It was called the Tri-Cornered Baseball Game and it was played 73 years ago this week, June 26, 1944, at the Polo Grounds in front of over 50,000 fans. The game consisted of the three New York teams: the Dodgers, Giants, and Yankees.

The game consisted of six innings to raise money for war bonds. The charity contest ended with the “highly unusual” final score of Dodgers 5, Yankees 1, and Giants 0.
